Dev Update Talks Free Future Heroes, Game System and Options Updates

Jeff Kaplan took to YouTube today with a Dev Update addressing several ongoing player concerns, including future heroes and maps, game systems and features, and other issues. You can watch the full video below, referring to the listed timestamps for each topic.

Notes

Future heroes (and presumably maps) will be free content to all players once they’re patched in, not paid DLC

Music slider/toggle option will be available soon

Background sound (plays when game is minimized) option will be available soon

In-game “killfeed” has been discussed internally and is a feature planned for the future

New objective score for defending team and other updates coming to end-of-game card/commendation system

Scoreboard will remain largely the same

Will refine “fire” system to “understand who’s performing at a really high level in the map”

Game director Jeff Kaplan discusses some popular community topics including current plans for additional heroes and maps post-launch, updates regarding an in-game killfeed and scoreboard, and other minor changes coming as a result of player feedback.
